Hi,

Unfortunately this is not supported directly by Windows Installer. However, you can try using a custom action to retrieve the MAC address and write it in the registry. To run the custom action with full privileges you can schedule it as Deferred with no impersonation.

hi,

I'm evaluating the trial version of installer and one key thing I'm looking for is, POST MAC Address as a variable to server side key validation script. Please advice how we can achieve this.

Hi Hassan,

I'm afraid not, but you can use the collect user information tutorial for this.

However, you will first need an independent custom action, built by you, which retrieves the MAC address and pass its value into a new public property, for example called MAC_ADD.
This can be for example a Win32Dll, like the following example.

This custom action should be scheduled before the set of custom actions related to sending the data collected to the server.
